Here are drugs that would not be stopped by Trump’s wall.
They seized this fentanyl at the PORT OF ENTRY.

At the PORT OF ENTRY.
PORT OF ENTRY.
(am I being too subtle). #wall https://t.co/FEj4eSgAEp
I want to add: bravo to @CBP.

In a normal world, this would be heralded as fantastic news showing how our efforts can stop the devastation of #fentanyl.
But since the only focus of WH is with a wall — rather than tough border protection efforts — it's viewed in that context. https://t.co/BTJdq63DcW

Mark my words: Trump will tweet about the massive Fentanyl seizure in AZ.

Mark my words: He will not mention it was at a port of entry, where a border wall wouldn't matter.https://t.co/7sVwurRSQK
CBP announces *massive* seizure of fentanyl at AZ border.

Guess where? Port of entry, not desert.
Guess who? Mexican national, not Central American asylum seeker.
Guess how? In a tractor-trailer, not a backpack.
Guess what didn't stop it? A wall. Agents using technology did. https://t.co/zoLG3Iuvdj

The drugs were discovered on a trailer coming through a legal port of entry, the way most narcotics enter the US. They usually don't arrive through unfenced border areas. https://t.co/IAabw7jbgV
